I’ve had this yarn sitting around my living room for awhile now. It’s a score from the WEBS anniversary sale. I plan on using it to make a Waterlily soon, since that could also translate into some possible summer work attire. It’s Louet Gems fingering weight in Terra Cotta.
Even with plans (and assigned yarns) for Waterlily, and a Linum Tee, and a Cowl Shell, I have been thinking I should make myself another Kit Camisole. I have been wearing the hell out of the one I made last summer, and it’s use of linen and positive ease seems like the key to keeping cool and being able to wear a hand knit. The Linum Tee and my recently finished Saco Stripes also use linen in the form of Shibui Linen, but it’s hand wash. For my Kit Camisole I used Louet Euroflax Sport and that yarn can be washed and dried and wears like iron. It’s well worth the cost. I just may have ordered some yarn to get one of those going… Because knitting will never be done.
Tomorrow is the last day of the TTTKAL. It seems doubtful that I will finish my Driftwood Tee before the end of the day tomorrow, but I’ll give it a shot!
You are so talented…I’ve been inspired to try my first knitted clothing piece…not sure what it will be yet, but I’m looking for something a beginner can do … thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge 🙂 Have a great day!
I’ve been thinking about knitting another Kit Camisole too. I actually might rip out the finishing on my first one and change it a bit, since I think moving the strap placement would translate into more wear. Either way, I think a second one is in order! How convenient that my LYS has Euroflax in stock…
My LYS always has Euroflax too. Too tempting! Rip yours out? Yowza. Just to the strap part? Those straps do need to be adjusted or I have to live with bra straps showing. I don’t mind that so much though.
Yes yes, just to the straps. Basically, I just want to rip out the parts where you have to pick up stitches and then bind them off. I think I did mine too tightly, and since that would allow me to move the straps a little (I find them a bit wide-set) it seems worth it.
All that being said, it still feels like knitting a new one would be faster/less annoying. Knit logic is crazy 🙂
I agree. Knit logic is crazy. I’d so much rather start from scratch most of the time than alter things! Ha.
